Chapter 182
Davis crouched on top of the ceiling, his eyes also lit up in scrutiny when he saw the guests .
He managed to easily enter inside while being in the concealed state of the Dark Concealing Shroud Art when the young man opened the doors pompously .
He picked a random s.p.a.ce to hide in, and reap some unexpected benefits from the meeting of these so-called young masters . He thought that if he could hear some beneficial information, it would be fine before he made a move .
That said, the reason why his eyes glowed was that he found out that the servant"s strength was better than the master she served . It made him wonder exactly what kind of wealthy family the new young master was from, considering the number of ornaments and extravagant articles of clothing he lavishly wore .
Silently taking out an imagery crystal, he prepared to record whatever happened here for a backup plan .
His main plan had been to beat Young Master Jackson senseless, but the man had no conflict with him which made reluctant to break his bones .
He injected very little energy into the imagery crystal that went undetected by those three people below him . With the help of his Dark Concealing Shroud Art, any energy fluctuations were concealed, making people of low soul cultivation unable to pick up the disturbance .
This action of his invoked the imagery crystal into recording whatever happened in the direction it faced .
A slight grin lit upon his face as he thought, "Same old tricks but extremely useful . "
"What?" Suddenly, Davis narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scene before him .
The servant who stood behind her master hurriedly ran ahead and embraced Jackson .
"Imryll!" Jackson reciprocated and embraced her as his face lit up in joy .
Davis turned confused at the same time .
"Nilus greets master!" The young man on the other side kneeled obediently .
Jackson and Imryll looked at him, "I"m sorry that you had to act like that to this trash . "
"It"s fine . " Imryll shook her head as she replied . A complicated expression appeared in her eyes .
"Do you blame me, Imryll?" Jackson asked worriedly . The previous haughty expression he displayed outside was nowhere to be seen .
"No, he deserved it . The only way to hide our relations.h.i.+p was to either kill or make him a soul slave . I can only thank you enough you chose the latter or else, my family would"ve found out . "
"I had no choice . Your cousin was greedy enough to extort me using our relations.h.i.+p . It only worsened after the matter with Katrine . "
Imryll went silent and an awkward expression appeared on Jackson"s face .
Looking at his expression, Imryll helplessly laughed, "You dare to mention her name in front of me?"
"I . . . " Just when he tried to explain, her hand closed his mouth .
"You said you loved me, then you plan to marry her? How sincere!" A sarcastic expression appeared on her face .
Her expression then turned serious, "You know my Berilan family is in conflict with the Blackwell Family for generations and yet, you plan to become in-laws with her family . You"re the one who is sealing all paths of us being together!"
"You plan to abandon me?" Grievance filled her eyes as it got a little misty, making one feel guilty .
Jackson lifted his arms and held her wrist . He moved her hand from his mouth and placed it on his chest .
"At this point, you will instantly know if I"m lying . . . " Jackson closed his eyes and opened .
"Do you know why the Blackwell family had agreed to the marriage? It is because I already did the deed with her . . . "
Imryll looked at him in shock but before she could say anything, he continued, "I was given a choice by her family to either marry her or perish . I can only choose the latter . "
"Originally they were angry and wanted to kill me, including my family but after seeing my potential, they changed their mind . "
"Besides, Katrine seemed to have taken a liking to me which was beyond my expectations after that matter happened between me and her . "
Imryll looked down, her body faintly trembling . It could be seen that this news was quite hard for her to grasp .
Jackson worriedly waited for her reply, not daring to influence her decision . He wanted her to be his wife but felt scared that he would lose her .
"You scoundrel . . . Why are all men like this? Even my father has five wives other than my mother!" Imryll looked at him and shouted in an aggrieved tone .
"Imryll! I had no choice . You could say that we had no choice! Katrine and I entered a dual cultivation chamber unknowingly in the Tomb of Variel, a Sixth Stage Expert!"
"How did it happen?" Imryll furrowed her brows, partly believing his words .
Jackson took a deep breath and explained, "In the west region of the Desolate Plains, I and a vast line of experts entered that tomb to find treasures, resources, cultivation techniques and manuals . "
"All the experts either decided to team up or explore alone . . . "
"I was exploring the tomb solo, and after a while when I entered a room, it happened . Originally, there were no harmful traps there but after Katrine unknowingly entered the room, the gates closed and some kind of gas started to pervade the room . "
His expression took a slight change as he continued, "Now it"s obvious that it was a potent aphrodisiac gas . . . "
"Then . . . even though we were both reluctant, we were eventually forced to do the deed . "
Imryll looked at his eyes and felt his heartbeat, there seemed to be no fluctuation whatsoever .
She then thought of something else, "Then did you enjoy the so-called deed?"
She suddenly felt his heartbeat turn chaotic .
Her expression turned cold as she said, "You"re lying . . . "
Jackson"s expression turned awkward and s.h.i.+fted his gaze away .
What could he tell? That he enjoyed two days and two nights copulating with her in extreme bliss?
"Beleive me Imryll, it was entirely accidental! I didn"t mean to betray you!"
Imryll bit her lips in frustration . She felt extremely aggrieved when she heard about the marriage of her lover, but after he had sent her a message that he hadn"t betrayed, she was so happy that she wanted to visit him .
The purpose of her visit today was nothing more than to distinguish if he had deceived her or not . . .
But now, the answer was extremely obvious . . . He did indeed deceive her!
Admittedly, Imryll was extremely unreconciled!
